Jean Jacques Smoothie (born Steve Robson) is a British DJ, producer, and record label founder.[2][1] Originally from Gloucester, England, Robson moved in 1994 to Cardiff, Wales, where he began DJing and founded a record label, Plastic Raygun, with some friends.
Robson released his debut single in 1997 and adopted the Smoothie stage name the following year. In 2001, he attained a surprise hit with "2 People", a house music song featuring sampled vocals by Minnie Riperton. The single reached number 12 on the UK singles chart and was the country's most-played song on radio for six weeks. Since then, Smoothie has released further singles, remixed tracks for artists including Kylie Minogue, and performed DJ sets throughout Europe. Smoothie is considered a one-hit wonder.[3]
